Great Falls, MT-based roleplaying game publisher 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming will be producing roleplaying game books based on award-winning author Margaret H. Bonham’s The World of the Chi’lan, as detailed in the Swords of Destiny series of books. such as Prophecy of Swords, Runestone of Teiwas, and others.
“This is an amazing opportunity for us,” said 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming co-owner Robert W. Thomson. “We are incredibly happy to work with Maggie Bonham to produce roleplaying games based on her books and stories, and especially honored that it was Maggie who sought us out over other game publishers.”
This is not the first work 4 Winds and Maggie are doing together. In June 2011, 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming will publish Phantasia Zoologica Volume I: Cats, Dogs and Horses, with cats and horses entries written by Maggie.
4 Winds has not yet set a release schedule for any The World of the Chi’lan products, but look for the first one in early 2012. The game system and specifics of the products are yet to be determined, but will be announced soon. Follow @4WFG on Twitter or "like" 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming on Facebook for immediate updates and announcements. You can learn more about Maggie Bonham and her books at her website, Shadowhelm.net.

Thanks, Dale! We're very pleased, to say the least. We'll be announcing soon whether the RPG will be Pathfinder-compatible or a different system.

Very cool, I know nothing about the books or world setting yet though. But plan to go check out the authors site.
It's lower magic world, more akin to Middle Earth than, say, the Forgotten Realms. That's part of the reason we haven't settled on a system for it yet, as we are already in the process of developing a Pathfinder-compatible low magic setting, I don't know that we want two of them at about the same time. We have several options we are looking at, though.

I recommend not using the Palladium system, unless you want to have your eyebrows chewed off by their CEO...

That system never ever crossed my mind.

That's good, because you and C would look weird without eyebrows.

I could photoshop a picture, if you want to confirm.

Might be a good use of the Cortex or Savage Worlds systems.

SW is definitely on our list.

Might be the best choice. Cortex has one advantage/disadvantage. It has not native magic system for use, so you would need to make your own. That could go both ways on the good/bad. On the one hand, you get to tailor the system to mesh with the books rather well. On the other hand, you have to make the system.

So THIS is the low magic setting you were referring to in earlier posts. W00t!

That, and I'm not sure it's been licensed for 3PP use.

Actually, this is a different project. :D Which is why we are looking at using a different core system for it, as we don't necessarily want to low-magic PF-compatible settings out at around the same time, unless PF turns out to be the best core system for this project.
